I can't stop pinning things for M's first birthday. It's ridiculous, I know.
I'm freaking out about Hazel's first birthday. I feel like Adele's was super awesome (cupcake theme, way overboard) and now I don't know what to do for Hazel's because nothing will compare to it. And pinterest is confirming this.
I am seriously not impressed with my dogs right now. Every night for the past week they have been barking like a couple of idiots at absolutely nothing. It's getting out of hand and it's really starting to piss me off. Last night I fell asleep at 9:30, woke up at 11 to my dogs going apeshit, had to haul my ass out of bed and go downstairs to where they sleep and tell them to shut the fuck up, haul my ass back to bed. 12, the baby wakes up. 1:00, more barking, more getting up. Like, seriously it went on like this every hour and they have been doing this all week. I'm already up 2-4 times a night with the baby, I don't need to be getting up and walking all over the stupid house because my dogs won't shut up. I'm losing patience with them.
OH, and yesterday I was playing outside with Sofia and I noticed a fair amount of flies buzzing around. I didn't think anything of it at first, but then as I was walking from the garden I noticed a dead fucking headless groundhog right beside Sofia's slide. Wtfwtf pepper?! My kid PLAYS there. Ugh.

Pinterest is making me be ridiculous about this whole thing. Lol. We are doing a pink lemonade theme for M's party. Lots of pink of yellow, some chevron thrown in, pink lemonade cupcakes and small cake for her, and hard lemonade for the adults. I swore I wouldn't be one of those people, but I'm just going to embrace it and have fun with it.
I should get up and run right now, but I don't wanna. I also know I won't wanna run when I return from the beach this afternoon. Blah. I wis I liked this shit. When will I start liking it??
DH was supposed to be home about an hour ago from a business trip to Melbourne Australia. Unfortunately, it is crazy windy in Shanghai right now and his plane couldn't land and they were rerouted to another city. The airport here is now closed so they are flying him to Beijing where they will probably put him up for the night (I hope, not cool for him if they don't). So he won't get home probably until tomorrow and he is supposed to work tomorrow and Sunday (weird Chinese holiday schedule). I feel bad, I'm sure he is crazy tired from flying since early this morning. And I miss him, I haven't seen him since last Saturday.
Also, we are currently about a week in to the Plum Rains. They are 3 weeks of pretty much straight rain. I don't even want to leave my apartment, because every time I do, I get pretty much soaked. I see a lot of taxi cab rides in my future.
I've had dull, achy cramps all night for the past few nights. I really wanted to take a walk last night after work to get things moving, but it was rainy. I am getting to that desperate point of really wanting this to be over. I feel kind of selfish, but I am so uncomfortable.
Totally not selfish to want it to be over by now - I can't believe how close you are!

"I was thinking about getting off on demand, but it sounds like I should be glad that I didn't"
We're about to leave to pick up dd's Power Wheels from the seller. She has no idea and she and ds keep asking me what we're doing today. She's going to flip her shit! I'm meeting a friend and her kids at the park so that they can all play with it.
I spent my entire train ride talking with people. On the commuter line it was an old man who was going in for a check up after having a tumor removed from his bladder. We chatted mostly about his life. I think he was nervous, he did most of the talking.
And then I got to know a girl in another lab on the subway.
AND the boys were amazingly cute this morning.
AND I love Google+'s new enhanced photo thing b/c I get cool gifs of my crazy kids.
One of my babies threw up all over himself, me, and the floor after breakfast this morning. By the time I got him and myself cleaned up the puddle on the floor was gone. Because my dog ate it.
A shooting victim was dropped off at the ER of a local hospital. In the comments section of the story a user posted this:
"Another that I'm betting has no insurance so the rest of us will bare the burden of sewing them up. Hospitals should start locking the door and only letting them in after they show an insurance card. The rest of us don't get all this free treatment so why should all these thugs. It'd be no great loss to society if they let 'em all die at the door."
That seriously almost made my cry. What has happened to compassion and humanity? I'm frustrated by people who abuse the system but shouldn't we watch out for one another? Aren't we supposed to care what happens to others?
I've had to learn to not read the comments section of the news. It destroys my faith in humanity.
This week has been so long. I am so ready for the weekend.
I had a sudden craving for Bennihanna last night. I think I'm going to make reservations this morning and surprise H tomorrow night!
My sister keeps bugging me about sending her my ID so she can use it as hers while she's in Boston. She rarely talks to me unless she wants something and I really don't have any desire to send it to her (even though I need a new ID anyway with my married name). Part of me doesn't want to give it to her since she gets everything else handed to her and I know that is totally petty. I feel like a brat.

I'm working on an Oral History project for my Sorority's Centennial. I am going through all of the archives of our old newsletters that date back to 1923. I am having so much fun with this project! I love walking through time with this, seeing the issues that were relevant, how the women addressed important historical events (I'm up to 1947 right now, so WW2, the death of FDR, the Great Depression, etc). And the fashion! I am no fashion plate, but I love seeing everyone's attire! Eee!
OTOH, I stayed up until 130 doing this last night. I AM TIRED! Oof!

holy crap! What a freakin nightmare. I'm sorry you had to go through all that and the stuff last night, but good luck. I hope it goes in your favor!

I would drive to the mall and walk my butt around with an Auntie Anne's pretzel and lemonade if I were you. Good luck!
I'm so fucking frustrated with my foundations class this semester. It's unorganized. I have know idea what's due when. Things keep changing and I can't keep up with the changes. Part of it's me, but I know my classmates feel the same way. I just wish they would get their act together and give us a calender or something with everything on it and when it's all due.
It's DS's first Friday home with us in a while and already I'm being driven mad with the fighting, that is, when I'm not being driven mad with their common terrorizing. And it's not even 10am!
I thought it was supposed to be nice out today. Where is the fucking sun? I suppose it will be easier to stay inside for a cleaning day if it's yucky out, but I've had enough of this gloomy, dreary weather.
I have a date with one of my best girlfriends tonight - dinner, wine and The Walking Dead. I'm excited.

There is some FB drama going on in H's family. We're both really curious to find out the exact details but don't want to seem to nosy.
I started and finished Sarah's Key yesterday afternoon. I couldn't put it down. I didn't love the book but it's a story that's going to stick with me. I honestly had no clue that the French people shipped so many Jews to concentration camps.
My MIL sent me a belated birthday and Mother's Day gift this week and I think I'm going to blow the money on something completely impractical like makeup or nail polish.
I thought it would a be a great idea to go in on a cow share with my sister when she brought it up a few months ago. MM organically-sourced meat! She's driving down to get the meat tomorrow and I've got buyer's remorse about having a year's worth of beef delivered to me at one time.
I have the theme song to Sofia the First in my head. It is DS's new favorite show. The show is pretty cute but ugh the opening song has been killing me all week.
